But I actually use the Ribbon a lot. Above the backstage there is a complete Ribbon xml I have created - I didn't include it for clarity. Apologies if that set you on the wrong track - my attempt at clarity failed :-( !

I do hide the Ribbon before the Users log in in some of my systems.

Many thanks for your reply though; the code will be useful for lots of people I think.

If you want more security than this, remove the ribbon & QAT completely. You can also remove the application window if you wishTogether with other security measures such as those described in this article on my website, Improve Access Security, you're then as close to making Access as secure as its possible to make it ....but its still NEVER going to be 100% secure.This post has been edited by isladogs: Feb 1 2019, 12:03 PM
